Got to sit in on the most life-changing DEI and leadership training today at Hartford Healthcare. Really delved into how to break cycles & implicit biases.

Took a few Implicit Association Tests in advance of some DEI / Bias training tomorrow. Might be a great pre-teaching activity / tool for my #critical #PR profs to help students understand their own implicit biases. >> implicit.Harvard.edu

Excited to finally make the move over to Bluesky. Looking forward to connecting with everyone in the #PR, #COMMS, #ACADEMIC communities.
